From what I saw it included it. Which I found quite surprising. I would have expected it to be higher.

I think comparing to the UK isn't really fair. But there are some misconceptions in this thread that should probably need noting. Gun control in the UK came in in 1903 starting with hand gun carry permits and has steadily gotten tighter. The UK is certainly not gun free, licences are quite common, no hand guns and guns must be kept in a secure gun cabinet. There's something like 1.8 million legal guns. Trying to impose anything like that overnight anywhere would be problematic as the behaviours are so different. When looking at the number of people killed by law enforcement in the UK you must bare in mind the troubles, the long term terrorist campaigns in northern Ireland where there was a lot of guns on both sides. I think there are differences in how the police/public interact. My impression is that in the us the police are not very approachable in the UK they are normally pretty friendly. I suspect part of that is not having to assume everyone you interact with may have a gun. It's probably fairer to compare to somewhere like Canada where there is more gun ownership.

And still no evidence. Great.

He's written 10 non fiction books how is that suppression? His rain producing device just didn't work when tested. It turned out to be a con according to the Malaysian government.

You need to do this.

. And night time... For a stable orbit geostationary orbits must be over the equator, so you need to stop talking about geostationary or the polls. There are so many things wrong with what you are saying it's difficult to know what to comment on.

This is trivially falsified by the fact many of the people you listed in the opp penning post were accepted as being correct in their own lifetime but the accumulation of scientific evidence. For the record a wise man one said the plural of anecdote is not evidence.

The same problems occur whether trying to do one photo or many. Else your results are meaningless. Yes, all of the white in mike's photos will be #FFFFFF for 2 reasons. The white is over exposed. The camera has auto white balance. Your results are meaningless.

Which is not a good reference.

How white is the white paper? White isn't necessarily white. The white also looks over exposed which will void any normalisation based on the spectrum from the reference.

You've just described what would need to be done for every photo that you want you're process to apply to. You're not doing that. I've done color space experiments with biological samples. Adjusting out white balance/the illuminating spectrum is very difficult when using optical microscopes and known light sources so I cannot see how your system would ever work.

How do you normalise out white balance?

It's comments like this which don't progress the discussion forward. It looks like you've not spent the time to go over what people have said. I've seen many people ask you questions or to explain your points and you've not. That really is a poor way to have a conversation.

The vacuum might be a disadvantage. It makes both construction and cooling of electronics significantly harder.

Cudo and rainstore3 both seem to be variants.

Near a new industrial estate near me they buried square plastic sponges to collect and store rainwater which is then pumped back into properties for use in toilets, watering plants etc... Others I know of use ponds. I imagine investigating the burying approach and seeing how they get the water into systems like that will be better for you given the hot climate. I use a 100l tank from a down pipe off the house, it's not really enough even in the UK summer but most of the rest of the garden that could have another tank is up hill.

BSc's were first handed out around 40 years after Cavendish died... The education system was fundamentally different to now. Your analysis is fundamentally flawed. You cannot compare modern education levels to those of the past.

Very much so. Joule was educated by some of the best scientist who were alive at the time. He then went on to run the family business (a large brewer). To start with he developed his ideas to make the company more productive. It's a fools game to compare the CV of someone today to someone more than 100 years ago. Education and work are very different.

After his apprenticeship Faraday was employed as the assistant to a prominent chemist. These days we'd call him a chemist at that point. I'm wondering what the point of this thread is? The concept of people having science jobs like today is a relatively modern thing.

International air space still has rules though. For the most part a blimp would probably be below the controlled spaces over the oceans. You'd still need to follow the rules whenever you wanted to land though.

Could you describe each of your 7 points mathematically?

https://youtu.be/0UilDqgwkro There are significant points in that where the wing is providing no lift. It's all thrust manoeuvring. It could dance, and go backwards!

I didn't think it was true VTOL, it cannot hover? Yeah the F-35B is STOVL...

Image processing cannot give you something that you didn't measure. An easy ish example is resolution. If you have a photo of a football field from above with a resolution of 1m. One pixel is darker than the others. No amount of added resolution will tell you wherever that is a ball or a dog or a turtle... You need more information a higher resolution.

Harrier jump jet. It had a fixed wing but didn't always use it. Used more water during hover than fuel to keep the engines cool.
